That's right, that's what it says.
But what would be abnormal operation...
I wonder why they announced this oscilloscope, but after almost a month there was no news.
Maybe they just wanted to see how interested users would be. But this method might backfire on them, as it creates unrealistic expectations. Does that "Damn Good Software" exist?
We are still on schedule to begin delivering the series devices around the beginning of June. The devices are already available for pre-order on our website, and we will release further information in the upcoming weeks. The datasheet will be available in a few days, and the "damn good software" exist.

Would be very interesting to see Dave play around with it and hear his opinion on the new design choices.
Or "The Signal Path" for in-depth analysis, including software implementation.
But it's localized in the USA, so it's not really handy for Batronix.
Considering the prompt response from Andre77, maybe soon we'll find something interesting even on Batronix's Youtube channel.

Is it like R&S (MX05"news"), where you only get adverts instead of information?

I didn't know him at all...
But yes, it should go in that direction, because the task would first be to find out what this scope has/can do better than other competitors in the price range.
That's the big question.
And that only works with a deeper analysis.
It may look like a tablet, but it's not a portable scope (and so micsig is still quite alone).
It has a relatively “low” bandwidth and “normal” memory size.
So where are the advantages, that would have to be found out and presented.
The “Dave Show” would be less suitable for this.
However, if performa01 had the time and inclination to do a review like the recent SDS800X HD, it would be a win-win situation for everyone, including Batronix.
Performa01 is located practically next to Batronix, compared to the above (Dave and The Signal Path).
If Batronix and Performa01 can agree, it would be the most handy option, and we would have access to a very honest analysis.
It's a bit disappointing that the preorder discount doesn't cover the AWG and logic probe, especially since they're technically part of the Magnova. You're still paying full price for them.
I'm also intrigued by the probe interface, particularly the potential for Batronix to develop their own active probes in the future. It's something I'll definitely keep an eye on.
I'm hopeful that the software will have a strong support system going forward. It would be great to see features like USB protocol decoding, Manchester coding, and power analysis. It's still upon reach of serious hobbyist.
QuoteI'm also intrigued by the probe interface, particularly the potential for Batronix to develop their own active probes in the future. It's something I'll definitely keep an eye on.
Here the same and at the same time a very important point:
I cannot imagine that it is "forbidden" to be able to use active probes from other manufacturers.
We, for example, have only bought Lecroy scopes for decades because we have their Probus probes/current clamps and they would not be usable otherwise.
If I were Batronix, I would not necessarily invest energy in designing my own active probes, but instead in appropriate adapters for "third-party" probes.
The electrical part of such an adapter is easy to make, the compatibility is created in the software, which would have to be maintained accordingly.
I consider this to be a purchase reason that should not be underestimated if companies could continue to use their existing (expensive) probes.

In view of the discount of 30%, this can be tolerated...
Although I would buy a stand-alone 2-channel AWG for the price.
Incidentally, that would be something Batronix could do differently from other manufacturers:
External control over the common function generators on the market.QuoteI'm also intrigued by the probe interface, particularly the potential for Batronix to develop their own active probes in the future. It's something I'll definitely keep an eye on.

At least with the USB protocol, the current maximum bandwidth could become a problem.
Otherwise I agree, most manufacturers offer rather few additional options, it wouldn't be bad if someone could stand up to Lecroy in this matter.
Because their list of software options goes on for pages...

Yes indeed. They need to be extra careful if they choose to doing this. A lot of big company have better lawyer than product...
Indeed you could buy a standalone AWG for that price but when the AWG is integrated in the scope you can perform a quick and dirty Bode plot.
Not sure at this moment if Batronix think of a easy way to do that with, for exemple, a Siglent external AWG. It will be neat nonetheless.
Hello egonotto,
......How much memory would you have at 10 ms/div?
80 Mpts surprises me a little.
Would you then have 666,666 Mpts/s sample rate?
If the memory is no longer sufficient for the entire recording time at the highest sampling rate, the next lower rate is used. At 10 ms/div (120 ms/screen) and 4 channels, this would be 500 MSa/s. The memory remains at 60 Mpts per channel.
Best regards,
Andre
